A major gas leak led to the Genas road being cut off this Tuesday, January 14, shortly after 3 p.m., on the border of Lyon (3rd) and Villeurbanne. The leak occurred on a public works site, near number 18 and rue Feuillat where a construction machine damaged a pipe. A major rescue system was put in place, mobilizing twenty-six firefighters and nine engines, as well as a police emergency crew and the municipal police, who established a security perimeter by blocking the roads.

Twenty-three people, present in three establishments close to the leak, were evacuated and the other local residents were confined. Around 4:15 p.m., GrDF technicians were still working to plug the leak.
This gas leak caused significant traffic difficulties in the area and caused disruptions in the circulation of line C9, whose “Reconnaissance Balzac” and “Cyrano” stops were not served.
